Williams, Lopez Honored

March 10, 2011

Garden Grove, Calif. -
Senior hurdler Lauren Williams and sophomore outfielder Carlos Lopez of Cal State Fullerton were among 18 individuals honored as Big West Conference Scholar-Athletes of the Year today at a banquet in Garden Grove.

The top female and male scholar-athlete is chosen annually for each of the nine Big West institutions based on a combination of athletic prowess and academic achievements.

Williams is the three-time defending champion in the hurdles and a regular member of the Dean's List. Lopez is the cleanup hitter for the baseball team who won freshman All-American honors last season. He was not present to receive his award because the Titan baseball team was enroute to Baton Rouge for a weekend series at LSU.
